Intelligent network requirements for personal communications services
Jonathan Homa, S. Harris · IEEE Communications Magazine · 1992
It is shown that a moderate set of capabilities within the service switching point (SSP), service control point (SCP), and intelligent peripheral (IP), which are the intelligent network (IN) components directly responsible for the real-time execution and control of end-user services, can engender a wide range of end-user personal communication service (PCS) features. These capabilities could be used as the starting point for an economic analysis of IN implementation costs versus service worth. From a very large target set of call model trigger check points (TCPs), the dozen or so identified in the CCITT Capability Set 1 are shown to be sufficient. The SCP and IP functional entity actions identified are also sufficient to support PCS core network functions.>
